This duologSecret societies! Lost magical realms! Rich worldbuilding based in folklore and a cast of diverse, brave and worthy yet flawed characters!
This duology had it all. I loved the characters and the story and despite being based on Arthurian legends, it did NOT feel like something tired and overdone. It used that folklore as a foundation and then blazed a trail entirely its own with new characters, new bad guys, new magic system.
Don’t be fooled by this being listed as YA. The heroes are all young, but this deals with some heavy themes and the action – and there’s a lot of action – gets dark, bloody and graphic. In the end, if Tamsin and her friends want to literally save the world, it’s going to require sacrifice and trust as they literally battle Death itself. If you like journeys of self discovery, found family, and searches for powerful ancient relics, you shouldn’t pass this one by.

The Last Town is definitely an improvement over the second book, IMO. I felt like the middle was the build up for all the action that happens here, and it’s a LOT of action, pretty much wall to wall, non stop, bonkers action.
Did I like this series as a whole? I’m gonna give it a solid 3.75 stars. I greatly enjoyed it, but this is the kind of book you enjoy for its entertainment value, not necessarily any deep intellectualism or thought provoking stuff. I heard someone once refer to this kind of book as “reality tv garbage” in the most loving way possible. You love it, you eat it up like a bag of potato chips that you can’t put down, but it’s maybe not GOOD for you.
Now to be fair, it does bring up some really interesting ideas about humanity, our place in the world, what it takes to survive. But there are also some plot holes big enough to drive a mack truck through. I won’t share them because, spoilers, but you’ll know them when you see them. None of that took away from how much I enjoyed this series though. The whole time I was reading this I felt like one of those popcorn-eating memes.
Except for the VERY LAST sentence of the book. WTF BLAKE CROUCH. THAT’S DIRTY POOL. You can’t give me that sentence and then not give me AN ENTIRE EXTRA BOOK. This obviously needs to be a four book series. MAKE IT SO.
I would apologize for the caps lock, but I regret nothing.
Anyway, if you want a dystopian sci-fi thriller that’s a super fast read and very entertaining, I would recommend this series to you. Perfect vacation read. ...more

So it was a bit of a disappointment to feel solidly meh about the second entry. The first was a lot of mystery, intrigue, thriller. This one feels like it fell hard to middle book syndrome, and it’s a lot of set up for the final book, although that explosive finale did a lot to save it.
Ethan Burke is now the sheriff of the tiny, perfect utopia that is Wayward Pines. He’s also one of the very few who knows the truth about the town, and the nightmare outside the fence.
Part of my ‘meh’ feeling could be the fact that now, we the readers are in on the secret. That bit of thrill is gone, and the only question is, what is Ethan going to do about it? I can’t say too much, because obviously I don’t want to spoil that surprise for any new readers; but this book feels very much like a middle slog to the final conclusion. I went and looked at the reviews on GR though, and I’m very much in the minority on this! Most people are wild about it, and it does have a lot going for it. Sci-fi thriller blended with horror. In fact, this one really focuses more on the small-town-horror vibe, so if that’s your thing you’ll love this. The idea of a perfect little town on the surface, but barely underneath that is fear, paranoia, horror. Very Stepford Wives.
I’m going to finish the trilogy because I loved the first book and I love Blake Crouch, and I’m a mood reader – maybe I tried reading a thriller when I wasn’t in a thriller mood. But still, that ending? Oh boy. Bad things are a-comin’ in Book 3. I’m predicting a big body count, and some pretty hard discoveries for poor Sheriff Burke. ...more

I got this debut novel from Illumicrate, and the naked hardback is stunning but I was not wowed by the edges; there was some damage and it looked like some pages weren’t fully sprayed. I did expect better quality based on what I’ve gotten from them before.
The book itself gave me a similar vibe. It started out strong with a great premise. A world where Blood Workers rule and the Unblooded serve. Shan is noble, a Blood Worker, and determined to restore her family’s name after her father destroyed it. To that end she finds Samuel – Unblooded, but with a history and power he doesn’t even know – and pulls him into her quest for vengeance. All set against growing unrest as the Unblooded begin to rebel against the Eternal King.
An interesting world, but the characters felt flimsy and half baked. We’re told that Shan is this cunning, duplicitous spymaster, but I didn’t see any proof of that. Her motives felt murky. She wants her family to be successful again, ok, but she wants to topple the King because… why? The chemistry between the characters also felt like love-at-first-sight instead of earned - my least favorite trope. There isn’t any world building outside of our immediate characters, and the plot gets lost in the romance. This was billed as something with political intrigue, and I didn’t really feel that.
Before it sounds like I hate this book, keep in mind it’s a debut. It’s rough in places, but the author has a really interesting concept and I’m willing to pick up the sequel and see where it goes. If you like some romance in your fantasy but really want to focus on a solid plot, you might not like this. But if you like a dark romantasy that really focuses on the romance front and center, and all the magic/politics are really just trappings, then I think my quibbles here aren’t going to be issues for you, and you should take a look at it. ...more
In Book 3 of Eclipsed Evolution, things have started to heat up. The world has been made aware of the Neighbor’s existence, and not everyone is thrillIn Book 3 of Eclipsed Evolution, things have started to heat up. The world has been made aware of the Neighbor’s existence, and not everyone is thrilled or thinks we can trust them. And with good reason – it turns out there’s more history between the Neighbors and Earth than we know. In fact, even most of the Neighbors don’t know about their own past. We’ve been told they’re only visiting Earth to try and save their dying planet and ecosystem, but it turns out the truth is something much different.
Renee is finally forced to admit to herself and August that she is seemingly able to use some of the Neighbor’s magic abilities. That’s not something they want either humans OR Neighbors to know, and the consequences could be severe.
There’s some predictable bits, some very satisfying bits, and some very worrying bits – this definitely isn’t a trilogy. I don’t know how long it’s going to go, but I am very curious to see what happens next. So far the majority of the action has been on Earth, with brief interludes on the Neighbors world. This is setting up the next book to have some major action on their world, and I’m looking forward to seeing more of their society and how things are managed there. It seems to be very corporate in structure – explains the corruption! – but I’d like to see more about how their people function day to day, and get some more world building there.
As with the first two this is very light sci-fi, very fast paced, and a great choice for people new to sci-fi who tend to prefer fantasy. We’ve got some very light romance, but no spice, and the romance definitely isn’t the focus. This one clocks in at 192 pages so a bit heftier than the first two, but still perfect for a quick little read. ...more

I don’t get the “paranormal” vibes, but I accept that’s likely in the eye of the beholder. The aliens look like angels and demons, they can teleport, they can change their DNA to adapt to new worlds - I can see how some readers will get those vibes. (I frown at using the word ‘evolve’ to describe this, because shape shifting is not the same thing as evolution, but I admit I’m being pedantic here.)
The Neighbors existence can’t be kept a secret anymore, so it’s time for the world to find out. There’s secrets and corruption on both sides of the portal, and it’s making things harder for Renee, August and Jackson, all who just want to make this partnership succeed. And is the world even ready for aliens that look like the angels of legend and demons of nightmare? Yeah, that’s totally going to go off without a hitch, right?
This is super fast paced, easily read in a day I think; it’s only 140 pages so great for a vacation or rainy-day read. We get a lot of movement in the plot heading into the third book, and a deepening of the character relationships. I’m not sure how long this series is supposed to be, but I don’t know if it can all be wrapped up in just one more.
I’m personally rating this a 3.5 because it was fun and there weren’t any glaring problems I noticed, but I do tend to prefer more complex scenarios and hard sci-fi. Still, I’m going to check out the next one to see what happens.
I think this is a great entry point into sci-fi for anyone who likes fantasy/romantasy and wants to dip their toes into a new genre without lots of scientific jargon or hectic space battles. If that sounds like you, take a look and see what you think! ...more

Aila is the phoenix keeper at a zoo for magical creatures, and she’s trying to restart the breeding program to help save the endangered creatures. The only obstacles? An overwhelming fear of public speaking or attention, needing help from her arch-nemesis (who happens to be the zoo’s griffin keeper) and the threat of poachers who are out to steal phoenix chicks for the black market. So, you know, no biggie.
I have literally zero criticisms of this book, it was delightful. It’s also pretty accurate if you want a peek into the day-to-day life of a zookeeper. A good friend of mine was a gorilla keeper at our local zoo and this all sounds just like the things she talked about. With the exception of, you know, needing to keep the magical Kelpie from eating people.
Cozy fantasy, queer romance, quirky setting and great side characters. I’m personally giving it 4 stars, but that’s only because it’s a subjective rating and I slightly prefer darker or more complex stories. If you like cozy, then this is absolutely, without a doubt, a 5 star read. It’s just so cute. SO. DANG. CUTE....more
“First, they loved her. Then, they abused her. Finally, they made her a villain.”
I read a LOT of mythology growing up. Greek/Roman, Egyptian, Celtic, “First, they loved her. Then, they abused her. Finally, they made her a villain.”
I read a LOT of mythology growing up. Greek/Roman, Egyptian, Celtic, Native American, you name it and I was obsessed with it. You know what I noticed a lot in western mythologies? The women really got the short end of the stick, and the gods were truly awful. We joke about Zeus’s philandering, the way the gods created little baby demi-gods all over the place, but it’s only recently that stories have started to focus on the injustice of it, and how women were treated in those times. How is it right that a woman could be assaulted and yet end up portrayed as a bitter, monstrous villain?
We’ve seen a wave of books recently that reclaim the stories of these women. Clytemnestra, Circe, Phaedra, Hippolyte and Penthesilea have all been given the chance to tell their side of the story.
In Athena’s Child, Medusa is added to that list. The more popular versions of her legend portray her as nothing but a hideous, monstrous gorgon, but this book is based on the version where Medusa was originally a beautiful maiden and priestess of Athena. After Medusa is assaulted by Poseidon in the temple, Athena blames the victim, cursing Medusa to become the hideous gorgon of legend.
There’s a lot to unpack here about how powerful men have historically been threatened by women’s gaze, about how they use sexual power to subjugate and punish women, and how even other women participate in the shaming. About how hard it can be to stand up and push back against injustice, even if you recognize it. And how staying silent and being complicit may be the easy route, but it’s the cowardly one.
We get POV chapters from both Medusa and Perseus. It’s tragic but well written, and I thought it was a fresh retelling of a myth we’re all familiar with. Bonus, it’s independently published, so if you read it you’re supporting an indie author! ...more
This is really a review of both Empire of the Vampire, and the sequel, Empire of the Damned. Because the moment I finished the first, I had to immediaThis is really a review of both Empire of the Vampire, and the sequel, Empire of the Damned. Because the moment I finished the first, I had to immediately pick up and begin the second. These books are chunky bois, and it’s a good thing too, because SO MUCH HAPPENS. And Kristoff tells it all without ever feeling monotonous, slow, or tedious. I honestly don’t even know where to begin to try and summarize it, because this world is too enormous and deep, too many distinct and unique characters, too much heartache and struggle. Where would I even start?
The first book introduces us with a fun narrative conceit, where our main character Gabriel is recounting the tale of all that has happened before. I love this style! Gabe hops around the story a bit, but never in a way that makes you lose track. And you’re aching to see how we got to the present day, because Gabe’s current situation isn’t ideal. He’s a Silversaint, dedicated to the eradication of vampires, and he’s telling a story about faith. About gaining it and losing it and finding it again. It’s a dark story, sexy, at times brutal, and impossible to put down.
The sequel keeps that momentum going and even ramps up the action. More worldbuilding, more great characters, more sexytimes, more family revelations and drama. Everything builds up until you hit the climax in the last part of the book and holy shit, it pays off. That last chapter is something that I think you see coming, and yet you still scream in delight when you get there. Now, Kristoff has a very distinct writing style here. It’s a bit showy, lyrical and flowery. Why use one word when you can use ten? Sometimes that works, and sometimes it grates. In this case and in this story, I think it fits the narrative style perfectly, but YMMV. If that’s something that bothers you, keep that in mind when you pick this up.
Oh yeah, and the artwork. THE ARTWORK. To die for. So beautiful.
If you like grimdark and gritty vampire fantasy, this is something that should definitely be on your radar. ...more

I’ve finished (audio)book 6, and now the wait for book 7 begins. The long, terrible, wait for book… OH BUT WAIT! Did you know, that if you join the author’s Patreon you get early access to the chapters of Book 7 as he writes them? Excuse me as I bippity-boppity-run-the-$%^& over there to get started early.
BUT ANYWAY. You’re not here for me to plug the author’s Patreon. You’re here because you want to know if this book is any good. Does it keep the momentum of the series going? Does it meet the high bar of quality set by earlier books? Is the AI still weirdly obsessed with Carl’s feet? Yes, yes, and yes.
Our intrepid group has made it to the eighth floor, and just when you thought they were getting the hang of things, everything is thrown into upheaval. The AI is starting to get.. uh… weird. Crawlers are being forced to confront the ghosts of their pasts. And Carl continues his never-ending quest to really bring the entire system to its knees, by any means necessary.
This is a series that is fun and hilarious on the surface and will literally make you laugh out loud. It’s also brilliantly skilled at pulling your heartstrings, getting you invested in these characters, their struggles, their traumas. It’s also shockingly good at making you think you’re reading something cute and lighthearted and fun and then BAM, HELLO TRAUMA. And underneath all of this is a scathing commentary on our consumption of other’s pain for entertainment.
This is now my sixth review of one of these books, so now the sixth time I’m telling you to push this to the very top of your TBR. Even if this is outside of your normal genre, trust me. Trust me. It’s just that good....more

He will restore the world, one realm at a time – but the price will be dear. Many are not willing to pay, including Hakara, who wants only to be reunited with the younger sister she was torn from years ago. The sisters are now on opposite sides of the battle, and Hakara is willing to go to war with a god to find her sister.
Andrea Stewart writes beautifully, and the world is deep and interesting. I love the above/below ground world structure, and the plot is well paced and engaging. I had a little trouble engaging with the sisters’ story, and was more interested in some of the other POV characters, but overall this will feel very familiar for fans of the The Bone Shard Daughter. There were hints dropped of a greater overall mystery regarding the past, the underground world, and how the shattering came to be, and that was very well done and will definitely pull readers in to the next book, to solve that mystery.
For myself, this was a 3.5 star read, but I think that’s only because I’ve been a little over-saturated on epic fantasy stories like this lately. If epic fantasy, rebellions, and battling gods is the flavor you’re craving, then this will likely hit the spot for you!

I come from a STEM background so I can Ali Hazelwood has created a great little niche for herself – funny, delightful romances set in the STEM world. I come from a STEM background so I can speak to the accuracy of the little touches, the in-fighting and backbiting you see in academia, the complete BS that women often encounter in male-dominated fields. I can promise you though, you don’t need to be a scientist to really enjoy these books.
Love on the Brain uses the enemies-to-lovers trope to great effect. Occasionally it’s a little heavy handed with some things (the twitter friendship was a bit obvious, yes?) and it does rely on a miscommunication trope. I know, I know, I’ve said before that using miscommunication in a romance to drive the plot is a pet peeve of mine. And it is! And I felt the story dragged that misunderstanding out way too long. That said, there was enough going on in the plot aside from that, and it was super fast paced with very witty banter, I was able to put it aside. Also, while I enjoyed the main characters, I think the research assistant was my favorite here, with her side story and romance. LOVE HER.
I didn’t find this one QUITE as good as her other STEM rom-com novels, but it was still a fun read and I don’t regret picking it up at all. If you liked her other ones, you’ll know what to expect here and you’ll likely enjoy this one too! ...more

Stirling’s Nantucket series, or the Emberverse books? If you did, and you enjoyed them, then you can rest assured that this book is right up your alley.
Stirling is big on time travel and military history. Much like An Island in Time, a group of modern people are stranded in history. In this case, a history professor and his four graduate students are visiting a physicist who – unbeknownst to them – has created a secret time machine and has a bunch of low-tech survival gear ready to go. Thermonuclear war suddenly breaks out, and the physicist is killed, and our historians are accidentally flung back in time to the Roman Empire. Bonkers premise? Yes. But this is pretty typical for Stirling; how the transference happens is flimsy and doesn’t matter. It’s about what they do when they get there.
Which is, obviously, start introducing things like enhanced farming equipment, new crops, the printing press, and gunpowder. They’ve decided they’re going to try and avert the Dark Ages and make the world better. And it doesn’t matter if they change time; after all, in our history, the world just ended in nuclear war. Who wouldn’t want to change that?
I’ll be honest, these books aren’t the best time travel books you’re going to find. They’re a historian’s fantasy of ‘what would I do if I got sent back in time with all my knowledge, and I didn’t immediately die of dysentery or get stabbed by a sword’. And Stirling also starts to get pretty in the weeds with numbers and resources and military tactics, which make my eyes glaze over a bit, but if you’re a military history buff, you’ll LOVE it.
That said, I still enjoy these. It’s escapist fiction, and it’s okay if you enjoy something absurdly unrealistic and ridiculous. It’s great for fans of alternate history/sci-fi like Harry Turtledove, or if you just want a little bonkers time travel. ...more

So when I saw she has a new horror book, you know I immediately picked it up, and I am so glad I did.
Nicola lives with the ticking clock of Cystic Fibrosis, and she never expected to outlive her husband Anton. When he is killed in a horrible car crash and dies in her arms, his last words to her are “I’ll be waiting for you.” Despite being a skeptic, since that day she has visited multiple spiritualists, hoping for verifiable contact with him, but to no avail. She is going to try one last time, with a ‘reputable’ medium, and she and a couple friends rent a beach house once owned by Anton’s family for the séance.
Things start to go wrong almost immediately, but is it Anton? Or is there something else, something dark, in the house? And Nicola can’t help but remember the first time she attended a séance, as a teenager, and the terrible events that happened then.
This is exactly my kind of horror/thriller. It kept me guessing and there were tons of reveals along the way that made me doubt what was happening, along with Nicola. I devoured this book; if I’d been watching it as a movie, I would have been screaming at each turn, with each jump scare. Even with all the misdirection, everything was tied up by the end in a very satisfying conclusion. I recommend this for anyone who wants a paranormal, haunted thriller. It’s intense, creepy, and perfect for a spooky season read.

You CAN rThis is a fun little novella set in the Rivers of London world, but I’d recommend having read at least one of those before diving into this. You CAN read this as a standalone, but I think you’ll get way more out of it if you’re familiar with this universe.
Welcome to the Harlem Renaissance, 1920’s New York City. The jazz scene is in full swing as we’re introduced to Augustus Berrycloth-Young, British ex-pat, magician, and former schoolmate of one Thomas Nightingale. Gussie, as he’s known, is very aristocratic, very dandy, and very gay. I absolutely LOVE the setting of the queer community in 20’s Harlem and the cast of characters we meet. The voice is very, very different from Peter Grant, and honestly I found Gussie very annoying at the beginning. He grew on me though, and once Nightingale showed up on the scene things picked up quickly and I found myself Gussie as the reluctant hero.
Nightingale is in search of a magical object and needs Gussie’s help. He reluctantly tries to balance helping Nightingale while hiding the truth of who he is – a queer man in a society that does not approve.
I enjoyed seeing pre-war Nightingale, but there wasn’t very much magic evident in this story, which is always a bit of a let-down. Despite that it’s still pretty action packed, and the climax at the titular Masquerade was a great bit of fun. All in all, this is a lighthearted and fast paced novella that any Rivers of London fan will enjoy.

Could someone make a TV show out of this? I mean, probably not, they’d need to throw massive amounts of money at it to do it right. Come on Amazon, look at how much money you’re spending on The Rings of Power and it’s soooo mid. Put that money here instead! I believe in you! I believe in the power of CARL. Oh god, who would they even cast as Carl? That would be a make-or-break decision right there.
Truth is, they’d probably never be able to pull off the effects they’d need to get this right. (But a fan can dream.) So if you want to know what I’m raving about, you’ll need to pick the book or audiobook up. I recommend audio if you have Audible, because the narrator Jeff Haye’s performance brings Dinniman’s words to life in a way I’ve never seen another one do. Huge props, as always, to both for bringing something truly magical into the world. I also want to give a shout out to the cover artist, Luciano Fleitas. At first I was on the fence about the art style of these covers, but as time goes on, they’ve grown on me. There are so many little details that I come back and catch after reading it, and it’s usually a very specific scene from the book being illustrated.
What can I say about the fifth installment without spoiling things? It continues to just get better and better, which frankly shouldn’t be possible. It is heartbreaking, emotional, wacky, hilarious, tragic, action packed. As much as I laughed, I cried. I know, I JUST KNOW, that the last book, when we finally get there, is going to rip my heart out. Welcome to the Trauma Club y’all, sorry not sorry. I don’t care what your usual genre is, I don’t care if you’ve never even heard the term LitRPG. You need to read this series. Please.

Literally, obsessed. Last week I ranted and raved about this to my coworkers until they tried to lock me in a conference room. (Only teeny tiny exaggeration, I seriously would not shut up.) I love it so much I've been bemoaning that there's no special edition by The Broken Binding yet, and then I discovered a kickstarter by the author that is still available for late funding. He promised that if the effort was successful (sure looks like it was!) they would do the rest of the series to match, and I couldn't give them my money fast enough. PRETTY BOOKS PLEASE, THANK YOU SO MUCH. So by the way, if you're as obsessed as I am, find that Kickstarter and pony up, looks like books should start shipping in September.
Action, hilarity, trauma, all rolled up in a neat little package. As much as I love my physical books, you really need to listen to the audiobook of this. Jeff Hayes's performance is the best I've ever heard, and it adds SO MUCH to the experience. I couldn't stop laughing out loud.
Is it scifi? Fantasy? Lit RPG? All of the above. 5 star action sequences combined with serious emotional beats and characters that will have you rolling on the ground laughing. As much as they poke at each other, you can see the bond between Carl and Donut growing stronger and there's real love there. (Platonic, you weirdos, don't make it weird) Carl is determined and persistent in his quest to bring this whole oppressive system down, and he makes some real strides to that end. He also makes some decisions that are going to have some serious consequences down the road... but that's a problem for Future Carl. And I can't wait to see what happens.
I can't rave enough. Read this serious. You'll thank me....more
